The 10 Best Tours in Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан, translit. Qazaqstan, IPA: [qɑzɑqˈstɑn] ( listen); Russian: Казахстан, IPA: [kəzɐxˈstan]), officially the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасы, translit. Qazaqstan Respýblıkasy; Russian: Республика Казахстан, tr. Respublika Kazakhstan), is the world's largest landlocked country, and the ninth largest in the world, with an area of 2,724,900 square kilometres (1,052,100 sq mi). Kazakhstan is the dominant nation of Central Asia economically, generating 60% of the region's GDP, primarily through its oil/gas industry. It also has vast mineral resources. Some argue that Kazakhstan may be considered a European country because Kazakhstan's Western region is on the European continent and meets the Council of Europe's criteria for European inclusion.

I truly recommend SUV tour. Everything was well organized. The guide Chingiz was professional, friendly and flexible to our needs.

Their services should be avoided at all costs. We booked a car to be picked up at Newark airport and when we landed, they told us that the car would meet us at the pickup location within 10 minutes. 45 minutes later, they redirect me to a bunch of dispatchers, even though I asked to speak with a supervisor. They told me I needed to wait another 30 minutes due to "delays". This is not the first time I have had issues with Carmel not having drivers available to pick me up at an airport, even though I book way in advance. This resulted in me having to spend extra to find a last minute option. Their operations are terrible, customer support is non-existent, and they should not survive much longer with so many better options out there. I will be reporting them to the better business bureau.

8. Former Semipalatinsk nuclear test site
There are only few nuclear powers in the world, of them only 3 countries allow tourism related to military use of nuclear technology. While in DPRK and USA you'll visit only museums, in Kazakhstan it is possible to visit test sites literally, step on the same land, even walk in the crater of explosion. Within last 30 years a lot of work had been done to clean this land, so largely it is safe to visit even according to very tough Kazakhstan standards. Nevertheless, we will take all measures for safety, including dosimetrist service. What is unique here, is.. everything, literally everything!! Besides, I'll tell you many private stories and a lot of my personal collection of stories and historical anecdotes.
Inclusions: Picnick style lunch is included on the first day. We will have it in the bunker, from which underground test were conducted., Private transportation, Radiation service is included. It consists of: sertified dosimetrist service, protective suits, gloves, masks and boots both days., Accomodation in the evening of first day. Workers' dormitory, quite a spartan condition., Permissions for visiting this area., Meals are included.
Exclusions: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase)

10. City tour: Astana is the symbiosis of past and future in present
Nur-Sultan is the symbiosis of past and future in present, it is the city where any person has his own vision and opinion on Nur-Sultan. You may find that the capital is a glass city from future, consisting of unusual buildings tailored by the foreign architects – it is the Pyramid, as well as “Khan Shatyr”, which author is Sir Norman Foster; it is the heritage of the EXPO exhibition, the theme was “Future Energy”. The bird Samruk seems to protect the “Independence Square”; sitting on the top of “Kazakh Yeli” Monument, it guards peace and independence and if you just let yourselves day-dream, you could imagine that the bird is flying over the “Palace of Peace and Reconciliation” and taking a rest at the pond in the President’s Park. The “Independence Square” and “Nurzhol” Boulevard are connected by the bridges over the Yesil (Ishim) River, they prolong the “Millennium Axis” in which conventional centre the main monument of the country “Bayterek” is located.
Inclusions: Private transportation, All Fees and Taxes, Entry tickets to all sightseeings
